Fodor's Review

One of the few resorts directly on the white-sand beach of Orient Bay, this hotel has a funky feel and spacious, colonial-style suites with terraces that overlook the pool, beach, or ocean. Two-level rooms also have private decks. Alamanda Café is surrounded by a fragrant tropical garden; the Kakao Beach restaurant looks out toward the ocean. A hotel card provides access to activities and restaurants at any resort in the area. The staff at the 24-hour activity desk will be happy to arrange island activities.
